Chapter 213: Chapter 153: I Gave You a Chance, But You’re Useless

"Senior Brother Ling Shuangzi..."

"Senior Brother Ling..."

The surrounding crowd was horrified.

Their faces turned pale, their expressions filled with disbelief.

That was Ling Shuangzi!

The strongest genius the Sword Cleansing Pool had seen in nearly a thousand years.

A master at the True Essence Third Layer, nearly thirty-five years old, and he was actually defeated?

Amidst the crowd, Xie Xinghe’s mind went blank. A look of terror appeared on his face as his gaze swept toward Chen Xuan, as if he were once again trapped in a terrible memory.

The day he was crushed by Chen Xuan...

The day his clothes were blasted to shreds, forcing him to his knees as he howled in agony...

’How similar that moment was to this one!’

"It’s far too limited. What a joke of a Sword Nurturing Skill—it couldn’t even take a single hit. If you want to practice Swordsmanship, practice Swordsmanship. If you want to practice fist techniques, practice fist techniques. You just had to mix them. If you don’t fail, who will?"

Chen Xuan spoke in a detached tone, still clutching the hilt—all that remained of the Black Dragon Treasure Sword. "And another thing," he said. "When you faced me, you didn’t unleash your Sword Qi immediately. Were you expecting me to give you a second chance? How naive. Wake up. In a life-or-death battle, who is going to give you an opening? If you have an ultimate move, you use it at the very beginning. If you don’t, you’re just waiting to be killed!

When all is said and done, it comes down to one thing!

You’re just too weak! Weaker than any opponent I have ever faced!"

With a casual toss, the hilt of the Black Dragon Treasure Sword flew like a fiery streak, shooting straight toward Ling Shuangzi.

Ling Shuangzi’s face twisted. He quickly rolled aside, the fiery streak grazing past him in an instant.

BOOM! The hilt plunged into the ground, and the impact sent violent tremors through the entire area.

Ling Shuangzi spat out a mouthful of blood, his eyes turning red. He looked like he was about to lose his mind.

’What in the world is happening today!’

’I am the great Ling Shuangzi!’

"Enough!"

Ling Shuangzi roared and leaped back to his feet.

Perhaps it was Chen Xuan’s words that had provoked him, or perhaps it was an explosion of his immense pride. A terrifyingly powerful Sword Qi erupted from his body with a deafening roar. The aura he had just been suppressing burst forth with sudden violence.

It was as if an invisible, giant sword had suddenly shot up from the center of the plaza, soaring into the sky.

The powerful and terrifying aura was earth-shaking.

It caused everyone outside the fighting ring to cry out in alarm.

"Senior Brother Ling Shuangzi is going to use a Forbidden Technique!"

"He’s finally getting serious!"

...

Even the Sect Leader of the Sword Cleansing Pool, Han Jiangxue, whose face had been ashen, couldn’t help but breathe a secret sigh of relief.

’Good, good, good!’

’Ling Shuangzi has finally decided to use that ultimate move.’

’Although this move has a significant drawback...’

’After using it, it will cause a certain degree of damage to his foundation.’

’...But it’s all worth it to win the match.’

’If his foundation is damaged, we can just repair it later.’

’The Sword Cleansing Pool may lack other things, but we have an abundance of all sorts of heavenly treasures and earthly materials.’

’We can use as many as it takes to fix him!’

RUMBLE!

Wave after wave of immense and terrifying Sword Qi erupted from Ling Shuangzi’s body. Dust and stone flew as a gale howled, and he himself seemed to transform into a giant sword.

It created a strange illusion.

’I am the sword, and the sword is me.’

Endless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi began to converge madly around him.

"Did you think this was all I had?"

Ling Shuangzi’s voice was hoarse and terrifying. His face was contorted, veins bulging on his forehead. With a monstrous aura, he roared, "I was just unwilling to stoop to your level!"

"You wanted a fight, so I will give you one!"

"I will show you what true, crushing power looks like!"

BOOM!

Ling Shuangzi’s body transformed into a terrifying beam of sword light and shot directly toward Chen Xuan. The entire world seemed to tremble violently.

The endless Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi howled, converging on Ling Shuangzi like a thousand rivers flowing into the sea.

From a distance, Ling Shuangzi’s body had completely vanished.

In its place was a giant sword of light, dozens of meters long and seven or eight meters wide.

The sword of light shot forward, about to pierce straight through Chen Xuan’s body.

But Chen Xuan remained unmoved.

He stood his ground, his black robes fluttering wildly, his long, ink-black hair whipping in the wind.

It was as if golden flames were burning within his eyes.

’So, he’s finally getting serious?’

An intense light blazed in his pupils.

Without the slightest hesitation.

BOOM!

He instantly activated his Innate Tyrant Body!

A unified flow of Primordial Energy instantly surged through him.

His entire body lit up with an even more dazzling and terrifying golden light. Searing heat surged madly from his body, as if a colossal, terrifying dragon of golden fire had suddenly erupted from within him and soared into the sky.

Powerful and terrifying shockwaves instantly swept out from him in all directions.

More importantly,

Chen Xuan directly activated his Indestructible Fist Intent (Level 2).

He activated all his buffs.

At that moment, as Ling Shuangzi charged forward, he was once again struck by a feeling of utter despair and extreme terror, as if he were no longer facing a person.

But a divine mountain, a demonic mountain.

’This guy... True Essence Ninth Layer?’

’How is that possible?’

Ling Shuangzi was terrified. He felt as though he were charging madly into the mouth of a volcano. He desperately wished he could stop, but he knew that stopping now would only mean a faster death.

BANG!!!

Chen Xuan didn’t hesitate. After stacking all his buffs, he threw a simple punch.

There were no flashy moves.

Nor any attempt to build up power.

It was an ordinary-looking punch, yet it contained a force unimaginable to the common person.

Moreover, this punch was infused with Primordial Barbaric Energy.

And so, the onlookers witnessed an utterly unbelievable scene.
